In Yakutia genetics are preparing a publication about a new ailment, informs magazine "Ogonek". This was announced by the management of educational and research laboratory "Genomic medicine" clinic of Medical Institute of northeast Federal Institute Nadezhda Maksimova.

"At the moment we are investigating on this new and quite serious illness in which people live to a maximum of 3 years the result of irreversible metabolic disorders. 16 we have identified patients in good health two", she explained.

It turns out that every hundredth Yakut is the SOPH syndrome and every the 33-rd - W-M syndrome. The expert was also informed that to identify hereditary diseases easier among genetically isolated populations. Version genetics, such people are in many States, in Russia the most striking of them is the Yakut and Chuvash populations.

The basis of genetic mutations may be the presence of nearby hazardous industries. Open for 6 thousand of such diseases. How interpret Maksimova, the carrier of genetic defect can live, even knowing of his presence. "Is that the disease has let know about itself, the carrier must meet another person with the same latent mutation and give birth to a baby," she added.
